Thai Beef Red Curry Recipe

This Thai beef red curry recipe is quick and easy to make and is guaranteed to satisfy your family’s cravings for one of the unique flavor combinations that distinguish Thai food – ginger, lime and basil. For a little extra herbal kick and since I always have plenty of homegrown fresh cilantro around, I threw some of that in, too. As always, taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Since I’m also eating leftovers of this dish as I write this, I can attest to the fact that it’s great for a light lunch the next day. Enjoy!

Any type of rice will work with this recipe. I use a short grain Jasmine rice, but it really doesn't matter. The rice is a great way to make sure you soak up every last drop of curried flavor. Also, feel free to add other veggies like mushrooms or carrots if you like.
